Teachings of Jesus - SOM

Whom Shall We Try to Help? (Matt. 10:12,13)
But Jesus was wise in the way of the world, as well as in heavenly wisdom, and he counseled his followers against attempting to help people, when they wished no help. He said, “And when ye come into a house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.”
This is a lesson which sincere students of truth often discover to there great chagrin. People do not always receive their message, and when this happens there should be no controversy, no argument, and no sense of disturbance; but, abiding in the conviction of the ultimate acceptance of truth by all, they should let their peace return to themselves and go calmly on their way, undisturbed, unprejudiced, non-combative, but certain of themselves…….certain of the Truth upon which they stand. If, however, they are called upon to defend their faith, they should remember that the Spirit, indwelling their lives, will put into their mouths the very words which they should speak; the great teacher said: “For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” (Matt. 10:20) Never forget that there is an indwelling Spirit which knows.
